Re: Attaching HP Laser Printers to the AS/400

Chuck:
I have a client who just switched their HPs to TCP/IP and have several
twinax cards for HP printers.  Perhaps they may be interested in selling
some/all of these.  Let me know if you are interested and i can put you in
touch.

|In the Black Box catalog there is are a few Twinax to ASCII converters.
| They price between $895 to $2645.  It also looks like there are some
|twinax cards that you can buy for the lasers.

|Hi Folks !
|
|New job, new environment, not where it needs to be but will get there
|EVENTUALLY :-)
|
|Need to find a GOOD way to attach HP laser printers to the AS/400.
|
|We DO NOT have a network (yet) and we are NOT running TCP/IP (yet)  -
|was doing both of these at my last job and miss that here... - just have
|"good 'ole twinax" here...
|
|We have HP 4's, 5's and one BIG  HP 5 SI...
|
|We are using Decision Data  terminals (when they work...) and I have
|managed to attach any one of the above mentioned printers to a DD and
|get it to print, with mixed results...
|
|>From there it gets murky. There are a TON of different parameters for
|printing to configure on the terminal and some are obvious choices, some
|are not.
|
|I'm wondering if it would just be easier to get the terminal out of the
|mix and "direct connect" these printers to the AS/400 and was wanting to
|know what others had done along these lines.
|
|Thanks in advance !
|
|Chuck
